5 Stars for Creativity, -2 Stars for Lack of Structure

Anonymous employee

Pros

This is a creative but chaotic environment. Great place to be if you enjoy working independently and figuring things out for yourself. New ideas are encouraged and the heritage of high-quality is honored although not always executed. Expectations are high.

Cons

Supervision is erratic and decisions often get reversed mid project. There are very few systems in place and when new policies are implemented in an effort to streamline the business, they usually get ignored Employee is training is minimal - get ready to jump feet first into the fire.

Great company, passionate about photography

Pros

Aperture is a thought-leader in the world of photography, and the staff here are all passionate about it. It's a stimulating place to work if you love art and photography, and there's a strong sense of community.

Cons

As a non-profit with a small staff, there are always financial concerns, and issues with organization that need to be worked out, which puts a lot of pressure on team members to meet goals. Be prepared to be self-sufficient in a fast-paced work environment (not necessarily a bad thing).

Fun Work Environment, Needs Organization

Pros

Aperture is a very important and historic voice in the world of photography. Great office environment. Coworkers are approachable and the overall attitude is laid-back.

Cons

Management needs to implement better organization throughout the foundation. Communication is sometimes complicated if not impossible. Pay was very low in comparison to similar roles in other companies.
